2 days ago had my ven dosage upped to 150mg, from 75mg that I'd been on with 10mg of cit for 3 weeks during change over from cit to ven. Prior to that 37.5mg ven, 20mg cit for 2 weeks, and a reducing cit doseage of cit for 4 weeks before that. Basically, feel tragically down, hence my increase to 150mg 2 days ago. I have got so down, just wondered if anyone else has done this sort of switch and when might I expect some improvements? It's been such a horrible process. Thanks.

      Hopefully, you will feel more tired, and less anxious, possibly over next couple of days, or may take a little longer. That would be a good sign. Still likely to get anxious at times, and need your xanax at current levels. Possibly after a few days, you may need less xanax. Have a little more oomph in me today. Not sure why, little more chatty in work. Can't take it for granted though. See how it goes.
